Koala is known as "the cutest animal in the world" and "an animal that comes out of a fairy tale". It is loved by people all over the world, and the vast Australia is its hometown. Australia is the kingdom of marsupials, with the highest concentration of marsupials, and the koala is one of the most precious.
The koala looks like a stuffed toy bear. Its fat body is covered with fluffy light gray or light yellow hair. It has no tail, a large head, bright eyes, and two large semicircular ears standing upright on the head. On the upper corners of both sides, long fluff covers the auricles, the face is covered with short fluff, and the black nose is smooth and very cute.
The koala has dazzled people all over the world with its soft, round body and amber ball-like eyes. Even a grown man who doesn't like small animals can't help but see its "pitiful" look. Give it a hug.
What is curious is that young koalas love to eat the feces of adult koalas. What is going on?
It turns out that leaves are basically composed of cellulose, and koalas themselves are very sensitive to this cellulose. It is indigestible and depends entirely on the microorganisms growing in its cecum. This microorganism can convert the chewed fiber into enzymes that can be digested and absorbed. The little bear that is about to live independently lacks this kind of microorganism, so it likes to eat the feces of adult koalas in order to obtain the microorganisms in the feces.
